Too bad you don't listen to more recent music, or you could have expanded this game fivefold. Spelin ain't what it used to be.....

I know the urban myth is that she choked on a ham sandwich, which is one of the greatest urban myths ever.... but if it isn't that she wound up choking on her own vomit, then I don't know. I may be conflating this with Jim Morrison or Jimi Hendrix.... all those damn 60's singers and their untimely deaths....

Goddamn you Fanny!!!!!!1

Addendum: I always concern myself over whether it's "Cum" or "Kum", and never remember they left the E on the end of Noize.....

Bonus: What was the actual cause of death of the singer named in the quoted lyrics for #7?

Heart attack

You should have known better than that. I don't do that just to be a smart ass or affectatious, I give the artist that I think had the superior version or that I think should get just cred for it. Although I almost put (Slade, yeah, whatever.....) in parens just in the remote case that Elwood actually thinks of it as a Slade song.....

And you should know by now that I love the Quiet Riot! Although I'm embarrassed to admit I had a short brain lock on that because when I read the first line Fox on the Run started going through my head. It would have been so embarrassing to miss one of my all time fave songs!

I also have a fun fact story about this song, but I think I might have used it before, so I abstained. Plus I'm trying to become a little less wordy because I think that the meisters don't like my babbling, so the goal is one or less Fanny Fun Facts per game.....

Ha! re: RIhanna. I didn't know why you were referencing Disturbia and then I went back and read your answer to #1 again. The first time I read it I didn't know what the french you were talking about, as I thought "the singer" you were referencing was Stevie Nicks......

She got so pissed off when someone took away her ham sandwich that she had a heart attack...

I remember you including Cum on Feel the NoizE in your tribute to Glam Rock, and I guess I made a bad assumption that given your love of glam that this would edge Quiet Riot in your book. I wholeheartedly apologize and beg for your forgiveness.....
